SpaceX’s Starlink Gains Preliminary Approval from India’s Space Regulator
The journey of SpaceX’s Starlink to provide broadband services across the globe continues with new advancements. The low Earth orbit network, courtesy of Elon Musk’s SpaceX, has bagged preliminary service approval from India’s space regulator. However, the move is only one piece in a much larger puzzle. Starlink still needs to acquire spectrum and other necessary clearances before reaching out to millions with their high-speed broadband services in India, the world’s second most populous nation.
Pressing Regulatory Hurdles Stand Ahead for Starlink
While SpaceX’s Starlink celebrates its notable regulatory milestone in India, a series of barriers still stand in the way of its success. The approval is a significant step towards futuristic internet connectivity in India, but it’s not the end of the journey. Several other regulatory clearances, including the vital acquisition of the spectrum, are yet to be achieved. So while the Indian market is within reach for Starlink, a few more bureaucratic hoops need to be jumped through before SpaceX can begin to deliver broadband services in this high-potential market.
